Scor-bug vs. Cutter Bee Piercing Bugs?

[rfstamps]

I'm looking to buy something that can pierce paper straight and with even spacing (tried doing that freehand, oh boy...). I've narrowed it down to either the Scor-Bug or the Cutter Bee Piercing Bugs (2 different types of piercing in 1 package).

Anyone have any insight on which one is better? I've heard that Scor-Bug is the same as Cutter Bee Piercing Bugs (both made by EK Success), so if that were the case, i would go with Cutter Bee Piercing Bugs (much cheaper).

If there are other tools I should consider, I'm all ears!

Thanks!

They are the same thing. I believe EK Success stopped making the Cutterbee Bugs and then Scor-Pal entered into some sort of deal with them to create them for the Scor-Pal. But don't quote me on that, LOL

Excel Pounce Wheels are what I use - I like them better than the Cutterbee bugs. Here is a link (I have both sizes and prefer the 7/16" swivel tool): Excel Pounce Wheels - Discount Art Supplies at In2Art.com

The 1/4" has 21 teeth per inch (with the teeth being so close together, you can really tear your paper using this one!)
The 7/16" has 15 teeth per inch (gives a wonderful perforated line and really adds texture to your work.)

I've got both (the EK Success ones were on a killer clearance deal; already had the Scor-Bug) and the single piercer is exactly the same except for color.

The EK Success double piercer doesn't work with the original Scor-Pal. It does, however work with the Martha Stewart scoring board, where the lines are 1/8" apart, so it might work with the Scor Buddy or the new Scor Pal that has some lines that close together.
